One busy week to look for costumes, renting dance hall for practice, going for private classes, all for the competition yesterday. Only got the 2nd place, but it’s not too bad already. Also, sincere thanks to Cindy and Jade who came to support us, and with flower! Our former classmate Elizabeth wait till the end to see us danced. Thanks beth beth.

The competition began at about 11:30am. It was started with street dance and hip hop. The competitors were pretty good. Quite enjoying watching them dancing. Next were standard ballroom and free style. At about 2pm, latin events started. First, it was the latin children events. There were a lot of young children competing and a lot of different categories. Most of the events were quite boring except for a few which had some pretty good young competitors taking part. Also, mostly solo events so we were not really interested in them. It wasn’t until 5 or 6pm that the latin events started to get interesting. Why? Because our gang finally started competing. The teenage girls juniors started to walk down the dance floor. They danced pretty good indeed. 🙂

There were a few prize giving ceremonies in between the events during the competition. It’s a good arrangement so that young children could leave earlier and the judges could take a short break. After the second last prize giving ceremony, the real latin ballroom bronze, silver and gold events followed. I was doing some warm up by the dance floor and missed Siew Xin’s Silver event. My bad 😦 Finally, it’s our turn. Cha cha cha and Rumba were quite OK. Samba was so so, no significant mistakes. Jive was a let-down. Started with wrong timing and followed with wrong steps… Just a mess…

Was really dissapointed with Jive. But hey, nothing is perfect, so just keep it on and keep dancing. 🙂

Last Saturday, I had my Gold Level Latin dance exam. My partner and I did spend a lot of time practicing, but the outcome was not good. This was not a surprise actually. During our practice, the dances were very bad already. There’s no miracle on the exam day, so it was all expected. Not blaming anyone, just to conclude that I need to put in more effort in dancing. There’s a competition on the coming Sunday, I’ll give it my best!
